Carlos Rodon Mechanical Analysis: How He Went from 91 to 96 mph
In this video we're breaking down Carlos Rodon's mechanics and discussing how he went from an average fastball of 91.4mph in 2019 to 95.7mph in 2022. Interested in training with me? Contact me and let's set up a call to discuss our training options.
The Cervical Spine and Pitching Mechanics
When health and performance are discussed in baseball circles, the elbow and shoulder are almost certainly the first body parts that are brought up. This is with good reason as injuries to these areas can have a significant impact on availability, career progression,...
The Process of Adaptation to Training and Its Impact on Throwing Velocity
If you train hard and are consistent for a long period of time, you’ll likely get better at your chosen sport, right? Well maybe, but it depends on the specifics of how you choose to spend your training time and the biological response to that training. This has...
Differentiating the Training for Segments of a High Velocity Delivery
In this video we discuss the different roles that various body segments play during a high velocity delivery. We discuss how the demands on each segment are different and therefore the adaptations that we're training toward and the methods used will necessarily...
Gaining 13mph in 13 Months: The Hayden Hair Story
If you've been curious about the process we go through with assessing athletes, designing programs, and how this all comes together in real life, this is the video for you. In this video I take you on a deep dive into the process of how one of our athletes gained 13...
Improve Your Throwing Velocity: Extensive Plyometrics for the Upper Body
In this video I take a deep dive into what extensive plyometrics are, how they can be applied to the upper body, some specific progressions we use, and what implications they have for throwing velocity. Interested in remote or in-person training? Contact me and let's...
Why Training to Failure Inhibits the Development of Throwing Velocity
Training hard is a necessity if you want to maximize results from your training program. This is often misconstrued as the need to train to failure on every set of every movement. While this may lead to some results when an athlete first begins training, is this the...
Mechanisms of Adaptation to High Velocity Throwing
High intensity throwing is commonly included in velocity development programs, but most athletes and coaches don't understand why it improves velocity. In this article for Simplifaster I discuss the specifics of the mechanisms of adaptation so that coaches and...
Quantifying and Managing Throwing Workload, Part 2
In part 2 of this series I discuss how to practically apply the quantification and management of workloads to determine how to fit in periods of reduced throwing loads while still maximizing development. Download our FREE workload tracking tool here. Interested in...
